BREAKING NEWS - After many years of hard work, Crescent Beach - one of the North Shore's most spectacular beaches - will be open for bathing this summer!L.I. Herald Op-Ed

For #ThrowbackThursday, I wanted to reflect on my recent op-ed in the L.I. Herald regarding the insertion of political motives into governance here in Nassau County, specifically as it pertains to contracts doled out by this County Executive to politically connected outside legal firms. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle have, in my view, been grievously remiss in our duty as Legislators to scrutinize the necessity of these expensive contracts, at the taxpayers expense.
Glen Cove Senior Center Celebrates February Birthdays
On Friday, we celebrated Glen Cove’s February birthdays at the monthly Glen Cove Senior Center birthday celebration. I was humbled and honored to have my birthday celebrated as well, and it was amazing to get to celebrate in the company of some of my neighbors who I’ve grown to call friends.
I’ve been very proud to celebrate birthdays at the Glen Cove senior center every month for nearly two decades. I started this monthly celebration when I served on the Glen Cove City Council, and I have been immensely privileged to continue to be able to this wholesome and rewarding tradition as Nassau County Legislator. Being among my neighbors so consistently is a great reminder of the value of the work I am so humbled to be able to do on behalf of my neighbors. To all of my fellow February birthdays, the shortest month of the year is also the sweetest, so enjoy the rest of your birthday month!

NC Legislature Top Cop Awards


On Monday, we honored Nassau County Police Department Officer Ian Fogarty, whose selfless valor is an inspiration. While off duty with his family on July 16, he saw eight teenagers caught in a rip current at Cupsogue Beach County Park in #WesthamptonBeach. Without hesitation, he grabbed a body board and swam 150 feet to rescue two teens who were unable to escape the current.
His efforts were heroic and lifesaving, and I am forever grateful that Officer Fogarty is serving this County. Nassau County PBA
